Core i3-12100F vs A8-7650K benchmarks

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Core i3-12100F is faster than the A8-7650K. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the A8-7650K in all gaming tests too.

In terms of the number of cores of each of these CPUs, the Core i3-12100F has significantly more cores than the A8-7650K. Indeed, the Core i3-12100F has 4 cores compared to 2 cores found in the A8-7650K. It also has more threads than the A8-7650K. Both the Core i3-12100F and A8-7650K have the same clock speed. Despite this, the Core i3-12100F has a slightly higher turbo speed. A Core i3-12100F CPU outputs less heat than a A8-7650K CPU because of its slightly lower TDP. This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption.

The more cores a CPU has, the better the overall performance will be in parallel workloads such as multitasking. Many CPUs have more threads than cores, this means that each physical core is split into multiple logical cores, making them more efficient. Indeed, the Core i3-12100F has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
